Each estate’s data, kept apart and on the record

Each estate's data is kept apart, changes are recorded in an audit log, and residents decide what their neighbours see.

Audit logs

Who changed what, and when

The audit log records each change: who made it, when, and the old and new value of a field such as a status or a role. Typed text, such as a comment, is never kept; the row notes only that it changed. Every sign-in records where it came from. Recorded on every plan; with Open Books, organisers and the committee read it.

  • Timestamped entries with old and new values, never typed text
  • Who made each change
  • Sign-ins recorded with IP address and device information
